In 1981, the [[BBC]] offered her her own television comedy programme, a first for a female British performer.<ref name="guardian"></ref>

She came to the attention of producer [[James L.

In 1993, she returned to television with the comedy specials ''[[Tracey Ullman: A Class Act]]'' and ''[[Tracey Ullman Takes on New York]]'' for [[HBO]] in the United States. This led to a long career producing and starring in programmes created for [[Cable television in the United States|American cable television]]. After a thirty year absence she returned to the BBC creating the sketch comedy programme ''[[Tracey Ullman's Show]]'' in 2016.<ref name="guardian"/> In 2020, she returned in the [[FX (TV channel)|FX]] [[historical drama]] television miniseries ''[[Mrs. America (miniseries)|Mrs. America]]'' playing [[Betty Friedan]] earning herself both critical praise and accolades.
